He doesn't have a choice, unless 610 releases the rights to him, which I believe they have for a good amount of time, like another 3-4 months or something.

I thought they had him contracted through June of 2006, not this year, but another YEAR and 3-4 months... IIRC.

I'm in that minority with you. I thought Whitlock and Maas were a big improvement over Keitzman in the afternoon drive slot, but I like Neil Jones and Whitlock even more. I do like Maas too, but I think Jones and Whitlock work better together. I hope this is true.

Anything is better than Kevin Keitzman. Is there a real reason why he and Danny Klingscale have such a dire hatred for the Chiefs? Hell for that matter it sems as though most of 810 has this hatred aside from Soren Petro.

The very anti-chief anti-football stuff that spews from 810 is highly annoying to me. We come off one of the best weekends I can ever remember in a Chiefs offseason and whats KK doing? Bitching about Carl as always.

But then again this is the station that treats the Royals as the kings and the Chiefs as nothing. Something about that makes me laugh when the Chiefs are clearly the more important team around these parts.

Kevin and Carl have had a few run ins over the years. To me, Kevin just seems like a little whiny kid when he bitches about the Chiefs, and it gets old. Plus, they have to fluff up the Royals, being the flagship station and all.

KK spent the last 3 days bashing the Royals, and calling for Pena's head. He said that the Royals hoodwinked the station when they agreed on the broadcast rights of the Royals. He also said that if it were up to him, he wouldn't renew the contract. Hardly the treatment you'd expect for "kings."

I do get great satisfaction in how they had to really over pay to get them and they have sucked ever since. After their big party celebrating getting the contract, and then having to fight with their co-owners who they didn't tell them about the deal needing to use their FM sister station to play games.

Alright you got me with that I'm not a frequent listener of that program these days so I missed all of that. Usually if I flip it on and I hear them talking about the royals or golf or nascar I tend to turn it pretty quickly.
So I was just going on what I'm accustomed to from KK in the past.

I bet they both won. Whitlock wanted double his salary, they wouldn't give him any raise at all, he quits. They come to an agreement, he gets more money, but the don't double his salary, everybody's happy.

Yep, that was alright. I really liked it when Whitlock left and they started bringing in former Chiefs as guest hosts. :thumb:

KK is just as bad or worse than Whitlock about doing that.

I'd much rather listen to someone talking about actual sports instead of stadium issues, how CP is the devil, etc. I think that's why enjoy Petro so much.

The thing that makes Petro stand out in the Whitlock/Kietzman conversation is that Petro doesn't come across as self-aggrandizing, whereas Whitlock/Kietzman seem more interested in themselves or their image than the sports they're supposed to cover. They seem to think they're bigger than the teams. That's also why I like Tim Grunhard, although I can't listen to his show because Doug Franz is such a tool.

Anyway, the one time a day I'm sure to have a radio on is 11 am - 2 pm, because I know I'm getting a sports show with national and regional guests every day, a guy who seems to care about and understand his topics and his audience and a guy who doesn't come across like an ego-driven assclown.

Like Petro, like Grunny. Can't stand Whitlock or Keitzman.

And DA is really starting to wear on me. He's more interested in boobie humor and weather robots than sports.

I don't remember him being that way 5 years ago, but anymore listening to KK and his ego make me violently ill. I really wish 610 had a net stream so I could check out Jones. The little bit I've heard of him, I didn't think he was that bad.

I've heard at least a half dozen guys I'd rather hear on the air than Whitlock, but I'm sure I'm in the minority there; Jason has somewhat of a following.

I was mostly fine with Whitlock until the day he quit (again). He seemed, i don't know, less self-centered on 610 than he had been on his 810 morning show (which I just couldn't listen to). But then he had his tirade and walkout, and it almost seemed like the veil was lifted and the old JW shone through again.

I'm not sure any radio show's going to be all that great this summer, though, with the way the Royals are playing. Hours of "boy the Royals suck" and "fire Tony Pena, Allard Baird" and "David Glass sucks" and "WalMart Royals" calls just get O-L-D, regardless of who the show host is. And there's really only so much Chiefs draft talk that you can do between now and training camp. July seems a long effing way off.
